Hi, my cpu i5-4670 currently runs up to 100*c whilst gaming! And around 50-60 when im on chrome watching videos on youtube according to cpu-z. Anyway, I think it's time for a new heatsink, however, im unsure on how to buy one... How do I check for compatibility? I've a Geforce GTX 780 for my video card, and 2x4 G-Skill ripjaws ram. I've a B85M-G for a motherboard... Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm kind of a newbie at building computers.. Thanks!

Heyo SleezyKicked

First of all... Have you check if your CPU cooler is seated correctly and there's adequint thermal paste?

Anyway, if you'd like to buy a new cooler something like the Cryorig H5 or H7 might be something. You could also go with a AIO 120mm if that's more you. something like the Corsair H55 would be fine.
If you decide to find one youself, you should look for lga1150 compatibility since that's that what your CPU/mobo is using :)

Good luck getting this problem solved!

Hey, thanks! The main part was looking for the LGA1150 compatibility. Is this a size of CPU? What other sizes are there?

LGA1150 is somewhat the size of cpu. It means that the CPU and mobo has 1150 LGA type padding/pins.
For motherboard compatibility there's not really that much else, maybe the amount of RAM it can handle and the speeds of it. Otherwise I can't really come up with anything :)
